Summer Transfer Window 2019

[TheAlmightyFloater]

Do we reckon if Zaha fails we would have a sniff of Bale?

No because that particular smell comes at £300k a week

 

[TheSecondComing]

Alex Iwobi, from what I have seen (granted, not that much), is absolutely turbo-garbage

He will make the street end spontaneously combust

 

[MikeH72]

Because if you buy a player for 28mill over 3-5 years in installments, selling him for below his book price, means you are making a loss on the player. every player has a minimum value for the club that lessens as their contract progresses, lads like Walcott and Tossun arent here that long thats why its problematic to shift them as opposed to someone like Jamesy, their minimum value reduces the longer they are here. Its also why we send many players out on loan to try and run down their contract and book price.

Selling below the minimum value, like Klassen ultimately crystallizes a loss.

We’re making a loss on him anyway mate, what is your point?

 

[GwladysBlue]

From Zaha to this?! Absolute rubbish.

 

[Hawhaw]

Iwobi is another Welbeck. Be disappointed if we’ve helped fund Arsenal buy Pepe

 

[Wat Tyler]

I’d take that Llorente as backup to Kean. Much better striker than the other three we have.

 

[andy4efc]

Is Kean not an improvement on Walcott?
CB will be addressed before the end of the window.

We've cleared house and cut over half of our deadwood from a ridiculously bloated squad; reducing the wage bill and allowing us to bring in Kean, Delph, Gomes, Gbamin at a net profit.

There's no other way of addressing it; it's been outstanding work from Brands.

There is ABSOLUTELY other ways of addressing it.

Kean will hopefully be an improvement on DCL mate, not Walcott. Kean is a striker who played wide for a bit since Juve have tonnes of strikers. Even then Kean will need some time to adapt, which i am more than delighted with signing him and having that patience.

Brandalf has done an awful lot of good work shifting some deadwood however the bottom line is we are weaker than last season as it stands. Mina I am not sold on, looks so clumsy most of the time and it's possible we starting the season with Schneiderlin or Davies in CM.

A solid CB brought in and a some quality in RW (we have none and resorted to playing Richarlison there, but he's better on the left) and we are absolutely stronger. I do think we have bought well but we have also left it very late to address vital positions in CB and RW.

Do not mistake my post for criticism as it wasn't, i do hope we sort those areas out but at the moment i dont think we are much stronger, certainly not for Palace this weekend and Everton have form for not getting things done or wasting time and ending up 'going with what we have'.

 

[Andy_Oz]

Iwobi’s decent, strong, quick, decent feet.
As a Walcott replacement yes definite upgrade... but he’s not quite at Zaha’s level in an attacking sense

 

[Big Fat Sam]

If we're bidding for Iwobi then it's clear we've missed out on all other top targets and are now down to our Z list players. Doesn't paint Brands in a good light if we're being that desperate.

 

[Wat Tyler]

From Zaha to this?! Absolute rubbish.

And that’s the end of my optimism...

 

[gav1985]

Please god no to Iwobi. Surely there is better

 

[Hawhaw]

Delph, Lossl, Tomori, Iwobi. Grim mate

 

[Deulofeumygod]

If we're bidding for Iwobi then it's clear we've missed out on all other top targets and are now down to our Z list players. Doesn't paint Brands in a good light if we're being that desperate.

Not his fault

 

[blue4eva77]

We have bid £30m for Iwobi according to Jim White

Que all the Zaha not good enough camp

' Why didn't we offer what they wanted '

 

[matty1878]

From Zaha to this?! Absolute rubbish.

Back to old Everton
